Pilot Can At The Queer Of God is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Although the opening riff of the track has a surprisingly heavy feel to it, Coyne surprisingly comes in with a vocal delivery which works with …

Through The Never, another one of the more aggressive songs on The Black Album, isn’t obviously as good as songs from the first four records, but nevertheless another pretty solid track, similar to Holier Than Thou in that respect. Although the vocal melody is pretty catchy on this track …

“Recovery” Review
Artist-Eminem
Year-2010
Genre-Hip-Hop
I have always been a huge fan of Eminem, from his old stuff and now into his new. He always seems to have that flow that no other artist or hip-hop artist can tap into. Even at his age he is still putting out quality stuff like his …

As of October 9th I am a proud owner of my favorite band, All Time Low’s, new album called Don’t Panic. I was wary when I first listened to the new CD for several reasons. They are back on a small label, this was …

Unsolved Mysteries is a song by Animal Collective and is the second song on their record Strawberry Jam. Right from the beginning of the track, Unsolved Mysteries is incredibly more interesting musically than the track to precede it, Peacebone. For those of you who were disappointed that Peacebone focused …

There’s nothing like a feel good country song. I love the song Country Comforts. I first heard it when Rod Stewart sang it and I loved that version. I wasn’t even beginning to love it until I heard Keith Urban’s version. He has a wonderful voice that fits perfectly …

This is not the only song I love with Otown; it is just that this is memorable because someone sang it for me. What I am not sure is, if he deliberately means the words. This song uses metaphor to describe what this song is trying to convey.
Let me …

I did not really know much about Meg & Dia until I heard one of their songs while on MySpace. That is where they became popular initially. They won the MySpace band award for Warped a few years back. Meg & Dia are two sisters who released two albums …

This audio CD doesn’t have as many songs as some of the other Beach Boys CDs that I own, but twenty songs is still a lot of songs to listen to. I purchased this CD because it contained a handful of songs that weren’t present on my other Beach …

song is a total love song. The lyrics are cute, and simple. The song
is about a girl, who is so in love with a guy and she feels addicted
to his love like a drug. This is a …

Jonny Horton sings the song North To Alaska. I like this song because it talks about something I have always wanted to do. I have thought about moving to Alaska for about twenty years now. I even went so far as to find land for sale in Alaska. I …

Longer is a song originally sang by Dan Fogelberg. I may say that the song is wonderfully written and truly inspiring. I have never heard anyone else gave a rendition of this song except David Archuleta.

The hardcore rock scene has seen a decline in its hardcore aspect over the last few years, sounding more like pop driven radio friendly alternative than anything else. While Hopesfall may be a decent band, “Head General Hospital” seems to try to hard to reclaim some of the edge …

Taylor Swift fast became a Country music sensation and doesn’t show any signs of stopping yet. She has managed to get a lot of hit songs under her belt in a very short time. She is a beautiful, young woman who seemed, at one time, to be very well …

Money is track a track by Pink Floyd which appears on their iconic album, The Dark Side Of The Moon. I say that the album itself is iconic but I’d also say that this track, along with many others on that album, has also become iconic in rock and …

This was the record that introduced me to Cypress Hill, and I liked it a lot back when I started listening to it, and I still think that it is a very good record. In actual fact, even now, when I have heard all the Cypress Hill records, and …

Hell’s Angel’s Cracker Factory is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their third studio album, Telepathic Surgery. I’ll note right now that this track is quite an ambitious piece of music and that it’s track listing is just over twenty-three minutes long. Because of its extreme …

It’s a Sin is one of the best known of all the Pet Shop Boys’ 1980s smash hits, and although it is perhaps not quite as famous now as it was in its heyday, it is still an excellent track that I feel is more than worth a listen. …

I always thought Secondhand Serenade was a band, I long had their songs on my MP3 player before I even knew that it is just one guy doing all the wonderful music. This guy John Vesely is one amazingly talented guy. I was so impressed with his music abilities, …

Overview - Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good, the debut album by Megadeth, is an album of eight songs which are all basically thrash metal. Dave Mustaine starts right from the beginning with extremely aggressive tones behind his
music and he closes it in the exact same way. …

Overview - In Through The Out Door, Led Zeppelin’s final effort before the death of their drummer John Bonham, is an album that I would to say is simply average at best. The album does have some good work, at least good parts, but overall the album really isn’t …

It was a common occurrence in the ’80s where a punk band’s first release is probably their best, no matter how many records they release afterwords or how long they stay together. They may release a lot of amazing records, but nothing can top their first. This holds true …

Badfish is a song by Sublime and is the seventh track on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Beginning with a recording of some background noise before an acoustic guitar enters the track, I must admit that Badfish has always been one of my favorite songs from this …

Before the worldwide madness of EYE OF THE TIGER, Survivor were slowly making their way in the music scene and Premonition is their second album. Though 1981 is actually my birth year, my musical taste is actually quite large and i feel i know these albums just as well …

The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

The Osmonds have a number of different lives in the recording industry. This incarnation had them performing at the Osmond Family Theater in Branson, Missouri. The songs were performed by Alan, Wayne, Jay, and Jimmy. It seems a little strange not to have that familiar bear …

This keyboard was produced in 1998, and was one of Yamaha’s first keyboards to focus explicitly on re-creating DJ, club, dance, and hip hop sounds. As you scroll through the many pre-programmed beats in the machine, you’ll hear samples of “Lady” (D’Angelo), “Rapper’s Delight”, and even a …

The Gift by Garth Brooks is kind of an odd song for him in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong it’s a very beautiful song but it has a certain Spanish flavor and tone to the song. That is something I would not have expected to hear in …

The Face of Love CD by Sanctus Real was given to me by a friend. I hadn’t heard of them before, so I was a little unsure as to whether or not I would like this cd. As first listen, I was mildly impressed, but as I listened to …

It’s odd that you would look at the performance of potentially the biggest boy band in the world and notice how much they had grown in a matter of weeks, but this is what I noticed with Take That. Only weeks before they had performed together with Robbie Williams …

I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …

Here comes the judge! That’s right, this is the album that proved to the world Soundgarden was a legitimate threat to any rock Gods previous. Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden’s forth album, is where it really starts to get good.
Oh, man. I can hear the start of Rusty Cage playing in …
